The Destination: France

France, in Western Europe, encompasses medieval cities, alpine villages and Mediterranean beaches. Paris, its capital, is famed for its fashion houses, classical art museums including the Louvre and monuments like the Eiffel Tower.

The country is also renowned for its wines and sophisticated cuisine. Lascaux’s ancient cave drawings, Lyon’s Roman theatre and the vast Palace of Versailles attest to its rich history.

France has long been a global centre of art, science, and philosophy. It hosts the world’s fourth-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and leads the world in tourism, receiving around 83 million foreign visitors annually.

France will be a magnificent host of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup – View highlights of 2019 FIFA World Cup France host cities here.

Testimonials

Having never been to a World Cup before, Green & Gold Army made it very easy for me- from their information sessions, the booking of the trip, and knowing everything was taken care of for me, including my safety: all I had to do was show up and have fun!

The experiences at and outside of the games were just amazing, and the people I met have become part of my “football” family. I cannot speak highly enough of Green & Gold Army.

Amanda Szalek

We have attended two World Cups with the GGArmy- the trips were well organised and planned. The organisers faced challenges with transport in South Africa, something they addressed for the Brazil program which was first class. We have shared many happy and memorable experiences with our fellow GGArmy supporters, and our safety was of paramount importance to the organisers, something that was important to us attending the FIFA World Cups in South Africa & Brazil.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend travelling with the GGArmy to Russia in 2017 or 2018.

Joy & Merv Fiedler

Travelling to Brazil on my own was so much easier with the Green & Gold Army- everything was taken care of. Luxury coaches, pre and post-match parties and even a private chartered flight between cities! I met some amazing people on tour that I have since been to other Australia games with around the country, and I am planning on doing it all again for Russia!

Guy McLoghlin

In life you often get lucky. I have been fortunate to be invited to be a host/guide for the GGArmy at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. They have been the most magnificent experiences. The friendships I have made will last a lifetime. No doubt about it.

However, the one item that stands out more than most is the care and thought invested into the tour organisation by the GGArmy. They are football fans united in a passion for the Socceroos and they direct that passion into the research and planning of their World Cup Tour Programs. The GGArmy leaves no stone unturned in planning the program. The best bit about it is they deliver every time. Bring on Russia.
